Decursive
Decursive for World of Warcraft
Decursive is a cleansing mod intended to make affliction removal easy, effective and fun for all the classes having this ability.
Documentation:
NOTE: Type /DECURSIVE to open the configuration panel. Decursive's options are not directly available in the "Interface" panel due to ongoing tainting issues Blizzard is not willing to fix.

Decursive key benefits
Ease of use:
- Decursive supports all classes with cleansing abilities and configures itself automatically, it works straight out of the box, no configuration is required.
- Intuitive interface and detailed options, Decursive is suitable for simple usage and power users.
Control what and who you want to dispel:
- Easily Filter out afflictions you don't want to cure or that are useless to remove by class (some are pre-configured). (Such as afflictions affecting mana on non-mana classes, etc...).
- Choose between what you can dispel (magic, curses, poison, diseases, charms) choosing their priority. (this allows you to share the cleansing work with other players effectively)
- Prioritize or exclude members. (keep players, classes, or raid groups in a specific order to cleanse them in order of importance)
Manage Mind controlled units:
- If you are a Mage, a Druid or a Shaman you can Polymorph/Cyclone/Hex mind-controlled players.
- In any case Decursive will allow you to target mind controlled units easily.
- Decursive supports magic charming affect removal for Shamans (Purge and Hex), Priests (Dispel Magic), Hunters (Tranquilizing Shot), and Warlocks (Fellhunter and Doomguards spells).
Don't waste time:
- Your cleansing spell Cooldown is displayed to maximize your dispel speed.
- An automatic blacklist will prevent you from loosing time on players who can't be dispelled. (player 'out of line of sight' for example).
- Decursive choose a logical cleansing order depending on your current position in the raid. (preventing dispel concurrence between players and thus 'nothing to dispel' messages)
React faster:
- Visual and/or auditive alerts when someone needs your attention and can be dispelled.
- Special sound alert when Unstable Affliction is detected and you're about to dispel it.
- Visual and auditive alert when your dispel attempts are resisted or fail.
Integration in any interface:
- Decursive is designed to save screen real estate and to be forgotten when not needed.
- Many options allow you to customize Decursive appearance and interface behavior.
- All Decursive alert colors can be modified making it suitable for color-blind people.
Highly optimized and effective coding:
- Decursive was developed with memory and CPU usage in mind, installing Decursive won't affect your frame rate even in the worst battle conditions.
- Bug free: bugs are not tolerated in Decursive.
In brief, what you get with Decursive is effectiveness, a player using Decursive will always dispel faster than other players.

Posted Aug 13, 2026Hey, I'm having a problem getting the configuration to appear at all. When I DL the newest version nothing appears at all now, and doing /DECURSIVE just gives me the type /help message. When I go to an older version everything comes back, but nothing identifies debuffs.

Yes that's "normal" the current version of Decursive is not compatible yet with 12.1, I'll hopefully start working on it a few hours a day this week.

Posted Aug 13, 2026Just FYI, I love decursive and have used it for a long time. But for those dying for a replacement until the author gets it working, Smart Debuff Reloaded is working and is very similar in function. I used to use Smart Debuff but the author quit updating it. Now someone else has taken over.

Posted Aug 12, 2026I just wanted to start by saying that I have used this addon for likely it's entirety and I cannot say enough about how great it is. You've stated that to get it to work with 12.1 is going to take some time, and those of us that love this addon will absolutely give you whatever time is needed. I just wanted to say that we appreciate you and look forward to this amazing software product working again. (retail)

There is no problem with classic I'm aware of, what version are you using? Do you have error messages? What are the symptoms?
